Certo SL110, 24x24 frame with expired Orwo film

Hello,
Here a new message about a great old eastern German camera i just got last mounth from Ebay : Certo SL110, very cheap 80's style, all plastic but quit solid and very cool looking

The particularity of it is that it doesn't use normal 35mm film but SL Cassette which is the communist version of the Agfa Rapid system, an old discountinued format of film. Actualy you can use SL cassette in an Agfa Rapid camera and vice versa.
Not realy easy to find but easier than agfa Rapid films...Only Orwo, the former Eastern German film plant produced them untill the late 80's, only black and white films were available, I've got many of them , first i thought it was normal 35mm ORWO films and got very surprised when i open the box the load my Praktica FX3. So, to use this stock of film films i had to buy that Certo SL camera........


What is cool about this Certo SL110 is that it shoot 24x24 mm pictures, with a 12 exposures film you can get 16 exposures!
Here are the results :

Orwo NP22 film, expired in 1992, i'm suprised with the quality of this film, despite the age and the unknow conditions of storage it didn't loose speed, i could shoot it at EI 100-120, the box speed is iso 125.

I used an old Kinax 620 format folding camera, i had to cut around the 120 spool to make it to fit in, on some shot you can some light leak on the side, probably due by too much of cutting....
